9. Statutory Surveys for French Rental Properties

9.1. Natural or Technological Risks
9.2. Energy Performance
9.3. Lead

9.3. Lead Survey - Constat de Risque d'Exposition au Plomb - CREP

With effect from Aug 08 it has been a requirement to provide a report on the presence of lead paintwork in the property for all properties built before Jan 1949.

The report is called constat de risque d'exposition au plomb - CREP.

If lead paint is found to be present a landlord may be required by the prefecture to carry out remedial work, or risk facing criminal proceedings.

If the amount is minimal, then a further survey is obligatory after six years for subsequent lettings.

If no lead is found it is not necessary to undertake a further survey.
